This article examines income inequality as a dependent variable- an uncommon approach in the literature-challenging the traditional theory of Partisan Political Cycles, which typically focuses on dependent variables such as economic growth, inflation, and unemployment. The study aims to assess whether the Party Political Cycles model, with its theoretical and methodological contributions, can account for the trajectory of income inequality. In this context, income inequality is framed as an economic factor that shapes the political process through its influence on the distribution of power. Methodologically, the research adopts a comparative approach, analyzing data from thirteen Latin American countries over the period from 1994 to 2013. The findings suggest that, among the traditional Partisan Political Cycles models, only the one using economic growth as the dependent variable demonstrates empirical support. However, when evaluating the explanatory power of the party model, this article provides empirical evidence indicating that partisan governance does indeed affect income inequality.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="pt"><p><![CDATA[Resumo A ideologia importa? Este artigo examina a desigualdade de rendimentos como variável dependente - uma abordagem pouco comum na literatura -, desafiando a teoria tradicional dos Ciclos Políticos Partidários, que se centra tipicamente em variáveis dependentes como o crescimento económico, a inflação e o desemprego. O estudo visa avaliar se o modelo dos Ciclos Políticos Partidários, com os seus contributos teóricos e metodológicos, pode explicar a trajetória da desigualdade de rendimentos. Neste contexto, a desigualdade de rendimentos é enquadrada como um fator económico que molda o processo político através da sua influência na distribuição do poder. Metodologicamente, a investigação adota uma abordagem comparativa, analisando dados de treze países da América Latina no período de 1994 a 2013. Os resultados sugerem que, entre os modelos tradicionais de Ciclos Políticos Partidários, apenas o que utiliza o crescimento económico como variável dependente demonstra suporte empírico. No entanto, ao avaliar o poder explicativo do modelo partidário, este artigo fornece evidências empíricas que indicam que a governação partidária afeta de facto a desigualdade de rendimentos.]]></p></abstract>
